Is it possible to save documents in pages as .docx?

Hi have just installed the app "pages" on my ipad. In combination with WebDav nav I can change Word documents on my ipad and synchronize to my laptop.
On my laptop I use Microsoft Office 2010, documents are saved as .docx. Is it possible to save documents in pages with extension .docx (I can only see .doc opttion for Word).
Kind regards,
Saskia

The answer is not "no". The best answer is probably DropBox. You install DropBox on your phone and on your computer. You save/copy the documents you want to keep in DropBox and on your phone you can open them. Better still, DropBox for iPhone and iPad permits you to "start" the file, which makes a copy and keeps it directly on your device (instead of downloading each time).
You can put PDFs, Microsoft Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets, iWork documents, images, movies, HTML, plain text, etc. and view them on your phone and take them with you. Not only that, but you can also access them from any computer using a web browser (in case you lose your phone). I do this with my travel docs all the time,
The other answer is that the iBooks app permits you to load PDFs into it through iTunes. Take your PDF and drag it into the the iTunes window to add it to the Books library in iTunes. Then, connect your iPad, select which books you want to sync (in this case, the "Books" are your PDF documents), and sync. Ta-da -- your files in iBooks. It should be noted that DropBox permits you to copy PDF documents into iBooks too (and images into the Photos app).

I can't save documents in Pages.

I can't save documents in Pages. I get a "file does not exist" error message. I've tried changing the file name, length, and location. To no avail. This is only sporadic.

Hey fruhulda,
I have a similar problem although I'm running OSX 10.9.5. I'v just started to completely remove pages and attempt a reinstall. I did the search for the plist file. There was only one file with the com.apple.iwork.pages name but it did not have the .plist extension, even when I checked the info page. Is this the same file?
I'm not sure I want to update to Yosemite yet, but it looks like I may have to in order to continue to work with my pages documents, unless the reinstall works.

Is it possible to save document selection as Channel mask-?

Hi Everyone:
Is this possible to script.
1. save document selection as Channel mask…?
2. how do we get selection from layermask..?
Thanks is advance.
-yajiv

ad 1)
If you mean a Channel:
app.activeDocument.selection.store(app.activeDocument.channels.add())
ad 2)
if the Layer is selected this should load the Layer Mask as a Selection:
// =======================================================
var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );
    var desc12 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref8 = new ActionReference();
        var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" );
        var idfsel = charIDToTypeID( "fsel" );
        ref8.putProperty( idChnl, idfsel );
    desc12.putReference( idnull, ref8 );
    var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );
        var ref9 = new ActionReference();
        var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" );
        var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" );
        var idMsk = charIDToTypeID( "Msk " );
        ref9.putEnumerated( idChnl, idChnl, idMsk );
    desc12.putReference( idT, ref9 );
executeAction( idsetd, desc12, DialogModes.NO );

Do i have to have "pages" to save documents from my pc into icloud?

do i have to have "pages" in order to save documents from my windows pc useing icloud?

Hi Poeman,
Seems you've take a wrong turn in the hallway and opened the door to the Pages (Mac) community. Pages comes in two species, Pages '09 for Mac OS X, and Pages for iOS, the operating system on iPhone iPod and iPad. There's no Windows version, and to the best of my (limited) knowledge, no Windows application that can open or save documents in Pages format.
Your best place to get an answer to your question is probably the iCloud on my PC community. The link will take you there.

How can I save one specific page from a .pdf file into it's own .pdf file?

I've got this 4 page pdf file, and I need to save just one page from it. I know that there's the option of using the select tool and doing a copy/paste to an image file, but I'm trying to keep it as a .pdf and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Perhaps this solutions workability will depend a lot on what type and generation of PDF you got and the tech built into the program suggested....
But ! (never-the-less)
You could try to see if the "Free PDF to Word Doc Converter version 1.1" will work for you....
I know it will not get you a single page .PDF but if the program works you could get a .Doc of which you might have the possibility to save a single page after editing it !(?)

How do I convert Pages to .docx documents. All I get is Word 97.

For some reason, my employer insists that in order to upload stories that appear in her bi-weekly tabloid, the manuscripts must be in .docx and nothing else. She is adamant. I use Mac OS 10.8.3 (Lion) and Pages 4.3. When I convert it to a Word document, it converts to Word 97. Is there any way in which Pages will convert to .docx?

Hi Herb,
" It is my hope that I will be able to convert documents from Pages into .docx."
You will. It will be a two stage conversion, though: Export the Pages document of Word (.doc) format, Open that document in Libre office, then save it as .docx.
Keep an eye out for formatting issues. Translations are not perfect.

Barry

Can you save a document in Pages and then upload it to a website?

In other words, can I create a word document in Pages on the iPad and save it somewhere (?) and then go to a site and use its upload feature, ie Browse for a document, and then send it to the site.
(Right now, the "Choose File" button on the site I want to use is grayed out on my iPod Touch)

I have the same need as vudean. I don't understand the security issue. If I type a document using Pages or whatever, why can't I upload the document to a web site? I think Apple should make the standard web "file upload control" available to iPad users.
I understand that there should be some limitations, but it should be possible to upload standard user files. I can upload them to Dropbox, so I don't se the big difference.
Does Apple read this? If not, where can I propose this feature to them?

Pages 5.0 will not save documents created in Pages 09

I have hundreds of important documents I created and saved in Pages 09. I got a new Mac Mini running Mavericks 10.9.5 with the new Pages 5.0. The new Pages will not save my Pages 09 documents. Pages 09 will not save them either. Help!

1. Is it possible you installed from a demo installer and your 30 day trial period is up, when it goes into Read Only mode?
2. Where and what was your purchased disk?
3. Where are you saving to?
4. Have you tried saving somewhere else eg an external hard drive and see what happens then?
5. The auto-saving issue with Pages 5.2.2 could be problems with iCloud and online access.

How do i save my document on pages so that i can open it on other computers

How do I sav emy document on pages so that i can open it on other computers?

Well, that was the short answer, then I rethought your question.
Will the “other computers,” be Mac, or a mixture of Mac, Windows PC, and possibly Linux?
What application on the other computers will be accessing the Pages content created on your MacBook Pro?
Using the File export options I originally mentioned, you could save the files to iCloud. Then on the other computer, you use the web browser to sign into your iCloud account. When you click the iWork icon, the files that you saved from your MBP will be there. You can then right-click on the file you want and a download option exists.

Pages, Numbers and Keynotes doesn't allow me to save documents

I created a new document in pages, numbers or keynote and, when trying to save it to my documents folder, it shows me "Couldn't auto-save document".
I've tried with different folders with the same results.
There's no problem when saving to iCloud.
I had installed iWork'09 and moved it to another folder.
Versions are: Pages 5.2.2, Numbers 3.2.2 with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks in a iMac 27-inch late 2009

Are you running any anti-virus, anti-malware on your Mac? If so, disable this a/v software.
If not, I would suggest the following:
Boot into Recovery (hold command+R at the chime)
Run Disk Utility (verify/repair permissions, and verify drive) on your boot drive
Reboot normally
Boot into safe mode ( you can do this during the above reboot)
At boot chime, press and hold shift key until horizontal progress bar appears
At login prompt, press and hold shift key, after your password, but before clicking right arrow to log in.Press and hold shift key until your Desktop appears
Reboot normally
Re-evaluate if Pages auto-save failure dialog gone.

Pages 5.1 error "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first."

When trying to open a Pages '08 file from a MacBook Pro in Pages 5.1 on an iMac, I get thr error message, "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first". I cannot locate a Pages '09 to use. I can export the file from Pages '08 into a Microsoft Word Doc file and can open it then. How I do I solve the problem and open files in Pages 5.1?

It is A solution that works if you don't have too many Page files to convert, but is very poor solution if trying to move everything off of the MacBook Pro to the iMac. I don't necessarily need to open the 5 years of files, but if I need to look at something archived, I'm dead in the water.
It doesn't make sense that a Mac can open a Microsoft product but cannot open a Mac product. I can understand that a program is not forward compatibale, but almost all programs are backward compatible. This same problem appears with Numbers 3.1.
Apple needs Microsoft as a solution?

HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

This document can't be opened because it's too old.To open it, save it with Pages '09 first.

Bought new MAC desktop tried to open old Ipages and I get this message, what do I do now?
This document can’t be opened because it’s too old.To open it, save it with Pages ’09 first.
Thanks

If you migrated your old system to the new Mac you should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Open your document in Pages '08 and Export it to Word .doc/.docx and open that in Pages 5.

Can't save a word document in pages

hello all, hopefully someone can help me because i am very frustrated with pages. I recently bought my 2011 macbook pro for school this fall. I transferred all my data from old macbook to this macbook. I needed a new word processing program, so I decided to download pages. Since the download I cannot save anything as a word document and for my school you need everything to be a .doc document to open on the schools computers. Every time I try and save a .doc document it comes up with an error saying:The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “essay one”. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Being a college student I write 2-3 essays weekly and this is getting ridiculous that I cannot save documents as .doc when it gives me this option. I have went to file get info and went to change my permissions it says my name Danielle: and gives me to options read only and write and read only. It also gives the options of staff and everyone to read only, to write and read, and only for everyone is has the option no access. I really need someone's help!! So if anyone is out there write me back! Thank you!

The point is, where are you trying to save to?
It maybe you do not have privileges on your server.
Have you tried saving elsewhere, such as in your Documents folder, then dragging the file across to wherever it is you want the file?
